The playoffs begin this weekend in Maine and two local teams will host quarterfinal games. Tonight at 7, Marshwood hosts Cape Elizabeth in Western Maine Class B and on Saturday Traip hosts Maranacook at 1:30 in Western Maine Class C.

In New Hampshire, it's not officially playoff time yet, but it might as well be for St. Thomas. The Saints play in the de facto Division IV quarterfinals tonight at Hanover in their final regular-season contest. The loser puts away the equipment for another year, the winner gets to go to No. 1 Plymouth next Saturday for a real playoff game.

St. Thomas lost 38-0 at Plymouth last week. With that, my picks:

Marshwood over Cape Elizabeth Hawks improved running game will be no match for Capers.
